Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

This time, Shinji Ikari still drove Unit-01 to fight against the Angel.

But this time he was still confused.

He remembered the bullying of his classmates, who blamed him for his sister's injury.

So he might not want to drive Unit-01 to fight.

After all, if Shinji Ikari drove Unit-01 to fight, he would take a huge risk.

And driving Unit-01 would synchronize the pain of the machine in the battle, and he could directly feel the severe pain from his body.

But after taking such a big risk and suffering such pain, he was still misunderstood and beaten.

It is indeed difficult for a high school student to accept it.

In addition, there is the indifference of his father, and some undisclosed experiences that Shinji Ikari may have had in the past.

All these made him confused.

But no matter how confused he was, Shinji Ikari still chose to fight against the fourth Angel.

But during this battle, the two classmates who bullied Shinji Ikari also ran out.

They watched Shinji Ikari pilot Unit-01, but was suppressed by the Fourth Angel in the battle, and even began to belittle Shinji Ikari with a big mouth and a smile.

This made the audience feel itchy.

However, next, they were almost implicated in the battle between Unit-01 and the Fourth Angel.

But fortunately, Shinji Ikari did not blame them, but protected them, and let them enter Unit-01 to take refuge.

But two other people entered Unit-01, and they were like two impurities, which greatly affected the synchronization rate between Shinji Ikari and Unit-01.

Just when everyone was worried about Shinji Ikari and Unit-01, and asked Shinji Ikari to evacuate the scene with Unit-01, and then attack for the second time...

Shinji Ikari did not obey the order, but chose to directly pull out the high-energy particle vibration dagger...

Then he fought the Fourth Angel in close combat as if he was risking his life!

In the end, Shinji Ikari killed the fourth angel in a desperate fighting style that made people feel painful.

But he also sobbed secretly while holding the extremely painful abdomen of the Synchronized Unit-01 that was pierced by the angel.

The two people seemed to realize their mistakes at this time and planned to make up for their mistakes afterwards...

But this episode is still uncomfortable to watch.

He is obviously a hero in the battle, but he is not understood by others.

Anyone would feel unworthy and angry.

...

Zhou Wenwei also watched anime during his weekend vacation and finished watching this episode of "Neon Genesis Evangelion".

He opened the old group "Modu Science Fiction Lovers ① Group" after a long absence.

Most of the group members in this group are science fiction enthusiasts. Zhou Wenwei has never left the group, and he often pops up in the group.

After all, he usually not only watches animation and comics, but also watches movies and reads science fiction novels.

The group members of this group also come and go. The old people leave the group and stop talking, but new people will join in and be as active as when the old people first joined the group.

At this time, the Penguin group of "Magic City Science Fiction Lovers Group ①" talked about Lin Qingshan's work - "Neon Genesis Evangelion" for the first time.

After all, Lin Qingshan has not created science fiction works for a long time.

After "EdgeWalker" made a big splash and became famous in the science fiction world, he once again shocked the world with the live-action movie "EdgeWalker".

But there are no more science fiction works.

What? You say "Parasyte" is science fiction?

If "Parasyte" is science fiction, then in fact, ghouls can also be considered science fiction...

But considering that "Star Wars" is also a science fiction work, okay...

After all, science fiction is also divided into hard science fiction and soft science fiction. "EdgeWalker" is hard science fiction in the eyes of comic fans and moviegoers.

Although the setting of the prosthesis in it is a bit fantasy, it still talks about logic. It has not developed the ability of organisms to rub lasers without relying on any external objects.

Anyway, this group does not seem to regard "EdgeWalker" as soft science fiction.

Naturally, "Parasyte" is not regarded as hard science fiction.

But "EVA" is different. Isn't the setting of mecha a hard science fiction work?

Although the word "Apostle" seems a bit religious, not like science fiction.

But mecha is a hardcore science fiction work!

However, at the end of the second episode, it was revealed that the "mecha" of Unit-01 might be a biological weapon.

But it doesn't matter!

Biological weapon android mecha can also be considered hard science fiction!

So the group members began to follow the trend and chat about the plot of this show in the group.

Galactic Empire Private: "Speaking of this episode, it is not a crime of obstructing military affairs. How to deal with those two guys?"

The King of the Force: "In reality, it will definitely be a crime. After all, you are sixteen years old and can take some responsibility."

Zhou Wenwei saw the words of the group members, thought about it, and then typed to join the chat.

Science and Engineering Man Da Shiye: "It's really not easy to arrange it like this in anime, and it won't have any big consequences if it is arranged."

Longing is not Durian: "By the way, what do you think Unit-01 is? At the end of the last episode, Unit-01 regenerated its eyes, so it should be a biological mecha, right?"

What's wrong with hitting you: "Biological mecha... This is the first time I've seen such a setting. Can a ghost mecha be related to a biological thing?"

Science and Engineering Man Da Shiye: "After all, he is Qingshan the old thief. It's normal for him to come up with some uncommon settings with a brain that's a little abnormal."

The King of the Force: "That's true... He always thinks of things that are different from ordinary people like us..."

Private of the Galactic Empire: "Force, you have known the old thief Qingshan for many years, you hidden boss!"

King of Force: "Haha, we are just working partners. I don't know that teacher very well."

Private of the Galactic Empire: "Last time you posted photos of you attending the old thief Qingshan's wedding. Boss Niu, last time you even got the old thief's autograph for the group of friends."

What's wrong with hitting you: "Guigui, is the Force boss so powerful?"

Cyber ​​Ronin: "The Force has always been the boss, so don't make such a fuss, okay?"

Lord of the Force: "Keep a low profile."

Zhou Wenwei knew that this "King of the Force" whom he had known for a long time was indeed a big boss in reality.

They had known each other for a long time, but they had previously thought that the "King of the Force" was just a rich second generation from a wealthy family.

Unexpectedly, he was not a rich second generation who simply squandered his family's wealth, but a successful... emerging entrepreneur.

However, no one in the group knew the true identity of the "King of the Force".

After all, we are just friends.

Last time the "King of the Force" got some autographs of the old thief Qingshan for the friends in the group, which was already very interesting.

But he is still curious now.

I’m curious about the setting of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

The male major of science and engineering also said: "By the way, the boss knows the settings in "EVA"? So is Unit-0 related to the apostles?"

King of the Force: "Huh? I really don't know. I really have a cooperative relationship with that teacher...well, it's just a cooperative relationship."

Liang Zhiyuan was fishing casually, and he was a little helpless.

In fact, he wanted to get closer to Lin Qingshan.

After all, he knew very well that Lin Qingshan was not only an IP gold mine, but also a development boss.

"Cyberpunk 2077" was developed with the help of Lin Qingshan and was a great success.

So far, “Cyberpunk 2077”’s ratings at home and abroad are still among the top ten in history.

The sales volume has always been the best among the many games developed by Lightspeed Development Company.

Other AAA masterpieces developed by Lightspeed Development Company are still completely inferior to "Cyberpunk 2077".

Among them, the control variable method certainly makes Lin Qingshan even more powerful.

For this reason, Liang Zhiyuan has always wanted to make friends with Lin Qingshan and ask him to help him, instead of producing another "Cyberpunk 2077" in a year.

He occasionally comes to guide and solve some difficult BUG problems.

It would be fine to wait four or five years before releasing a high-rated, high-selling single-player AAA masterpiece.

After all, isn’t it normal that it takes several years to develop a AAA masterpiece?

The original version of "Cyberpunk 2077" by Lin Qingshan in his previous life took eight years to develop.

But facing Liang Zhiyuan's proposal, Lin Qingshan was at a loss.

Want him to work extra overtime on game development? Don’t even think about it!

Liang Zhiyuan could only keep trying to win over Lin Qingshan in a curve.

Of course, it has always been proposed to use Lin Qingshan’s work IP to develop a 3A masterpiece.

However, Lin Qingshan declined the offer of "Fire Fist", "Parasite", and even "Chainsaw Man", Lin Qingshan's most popular project besides "Edge Walker".

until……

Liang Zhiyuan proposed to use the IP of "The Strange Fairy" to make a AAA masterpiece.

Lin Qingshan thought for a while...

Not to mention, the supernatural powers, evil spirits and other settings in "The Secret of Dao" are really suitable for adaptation and development into a folk-style stand-alone masterpiece.

So Lin Qingshan agreed to this cooperation and put it on the agenda.

Apart from that, Liang Zhiyuan was still unfamiliar with Lin Qingshan...

Not to mention talking about the setting and plot of "Neon Genesis Evangelion".

The boy from the Polytechnic College said: "I'm just asking. It's said that Qingshan likes religious settings. The word apostle is full of a sense of déjà vu."

Private of the Galactic Empire: "So...there won't be anything airborne directly afterwards. Everything is God's intention to give mankind a trial, right?"

The male major of science and engineering also said: "Probably not, the old thief Qingshan would not do such a setting."

Cyber ​​Ronin: "That's true. Even "Parasite Beast" doesn't say what god created the parasite beast to test it for humans."

King of the Force: "Just watch the follow-up. The teacher's thoughts can only be said to be... beyond the imagination of normal people."

The male major of science and engineering also said: "Yes, after all, mentally ill patients are ghosts when we think about it..."

…

The start of "EVA" is actually similar to the beginning of "Edge Walker".

Anyway, the first few episodes are all silent, but when all the plots and settings are revealed step by step, it will become a blockbuster.

Here comes the fourth episode.

After winning the battle with the Fourth Apostle, Shinji Ikari still did not realize the significance of his battle.

This makes people sigh with emotion when they see it.

Maybe some viewers don’t understand why they are confused after seeing it.

The meaning of fighting... is to fight to protect humanity.

But most viewers still understand.

You can hold up the banner of justice and say you want to fight to protect humanity.

But the true meaning of fighting is something that those who need to fight believe in.

Fighting for a reason that you don't even believe in yourself cannot ignite the belief in fighting.

Just like Shinji Kido in "Kamen Rider Ryuki".

Only by truly knowing the meaning of why you are fighting can you unleash powerful power.

As an old fan of Lin Qingshan, we all know that this is what he always talks about in his works.

The result of the battle is not important, the will to fight for what is the most important thing.

And Ikari Shinji can't find the true meaning of his battle. He is a 16-year-old boy, so it is natural for him to be lost.

Especially after that battle, he didn't know what to do at all.

He didn't even go to school for several days.

Until this day, Misato finally found that he was not in his room... He ran away!

Suzuhara and Kensuke, two classmates who bullied Ikari Shinji because they didn't understand him before, also came to Misato's house to apologize to Shinji.

Ikari Shinji ran away from home, but took the subway to walk around aimlessly in this new city.

After he got off the subway station casually, he walked into a movie theater.

In one of the few movie theaters, a science fiction movie created with the disaster of this world as the background was played.

In front of Ikari Shinji, one of the few couples watching the movie seemed to be unaware of his existence, and they were kissing and kissing unscrupulously there.

Others have people they care about.

But he doesn't.

So his eyes are still empty, as if he has no soul.

After the movie, Ikari Shinji fell asleep slowly on a seat next to a vending machine in the cinema.

But in his dream, he dreamed of...

In a dim pink city, noises like the sound of angels and cicadas kept coming from all around.

The sound became louder and louder...

Even Ikari Shinji couldn't bear it in the end and ran wildly in his dream.

Then, the scene switched to Misato.

She was chatting with Ritsuko, and Ritsuko was checking on Rei Ayanami's physical recovery.

In her conversation with Ritsuko, it turned out that after the last battle with the angel, she was very dissatisfied with Shinji's behavior of not obeying orders and continuing to fight the fourth angel desperately without caring about his own danger.

She even spoke a little more harshly to Ikari Shinji because of this.

Although everyone knows that she actually cares about Shinji Ikari, it is obvious that Shinji Ikari's mental state was not right at that time, and she scolded him in such a harsh tone.

Of course, Shinji Ikari's psychological problems will worsen.

At this time, he continued to walk out, even leaving the city and going to the suburbs outside the city.

But here, he met... the classmate who didn't understand him and helped Suzuhara bully him - Kensuke.

But this time Kensuke understood him and chatted with him in the wild.

Shinji Ikari stayed with Kensuke for one night, and was taken back by NERV's security intelligence department the next day.

After giving up the EVA driving job, he will be escorted back to his original residence.

After listening to Kensuke's insights on Shinji's psychology, Misato hurried to the station to see him off, and the train had slowly left the station.

But Shinji Ikari was still there, and he chose to stay...
